It once divided a city by wealth and status, and even today visitors to Paris have a favoured bank of the Seine; while sightseers tend to veer a droite, artists and creative types clearly keep a gauche. Right now, though, the focus of activity is the river itself, dubbed the city's 21st arrondissement, where buoyant bars bob between bridges and dockside cafes are flooded with...

Standing in his swimming trunks, Gilles looked up at the modern grey apartment buildings and trees that lined the Paris canal. He took a deep breath, then dived into the dark mass of water that had been officially banned to swimmers for decades. “Bliss,” he said after doing 500m of front crawl, occasionally brushing past bits of green algae in the new temporary swimming zone at...

The grandeur of a big European city can get drowned out quickly by the hubbub of humanity and cacophony of cars.

Police and protesters have clashed in Paris ahead of a third weekend of mass \"yellow vest\" demonstrations sparked by rising fuel prices.

President Macron struck a conciliatory tone earlier in the week but said he would not abandon his fuel tax.
He said it was a key part of France\'s future energy strategy to combat global warming, but added that he was open to ideas about how the tax could be applied.
But his speech does not appear to have gone far enough in assuaging people of the view that he is out of touch with ordinary people.
